Stephen Humphrys headed home a last-minute winner to give Barnsley a 2-1 victory at Burton.
The deadline-day signing glanced home a curling cross from Corey O'Keeffe just moments after Jack Cooper-Love headed home a superb equaliser for the Brewers.
The Tykes had gone in front in the first half when skipper Luca Connell unerringly found the bottom corner of the Albion net from a 30-yard free kick having been fouled by Albion skipper Elliot Watt on a rare Barnsley attack.

Albion twice had shouts for a penalty in a positive first-half display, both Cooper-Love and Udoka Godwin-Malife both seemingly brought down but crucially not in the opinion of referee Dean Whitestone.
Max Crocombe denied Davis Keillor-Dunn on 51 minutes to prevent the Tykes doubling their lead, with Adam Phillips firing wide from the rebound.
Cooper-Love looked to have salvaged a deserved point for Albion but Humphrys ensured Barnsley put a bad week on the road behind them.
